In memory of Marion D. Shields
5/27/1921 - 3/20/2007
In May 2009, Elizabeth and I visited Scott and Oksana Sobie and their children who are missionaries in Balki, Ukraine. Elizabeth and I each kept Daily Logs for our two week trip and we took 400+ pictures while we were there. Our main goals during this trip were to visit and minister to Scott and his family. Here are links to our David and Elizabeth Ukraine Trip, some of Our Pictures, and the Sobie Family website. |
